She treasured every opportunity to spend time with her loved ones and especially looked forward to family summer vacations, where many of her family's favorite memories were made. In her quieter moments, Peggy enjoyed relaxing with a good book.

Whether volunteering at her children's schools, enjoying a summer vacation with family, or simply spending a quiet afternoon with a good book, she found happiness in life's simple moments.
